2009 Palmina Santa Barbara County Nebbiolo red and black fruit ofShowing consistently with the review a few years ago, Clifton's entry level 2009 Nebbiolo is fully mature on the nose and reveals lots of tobacco leaf, spice box, licorice, dusty pebble and savory Nebbiolo fruit. It lacks a touch of freshness on the nose, but has solid depth and density on the palate, with bright acidity, the tannic grip of the variety and a good finish. Drink it over the coming 4 5 years. At the price, it's well worth checking out.
